What makes a good climate change story?
In this session Euronews science correspondent Jeremy Wilks discusses coverage of climate change in the mainstream media. Jeremy is the host of the Climate Now series, made in cooperation with the Copernicus Climate Change Service, and has been covering climate change on a full-time basis every month since September 2019. We will talk about story choice, explore how subjects are identified, locations decided, and interviews conducted. We look at how the broadcast media explains climate change science, and ask if the focus of climate change coverage is unduly skewed towards mitigation rather than adaptation. Why aren't mainstream media companies covering climate change stories better, and what are they doing to improve their content?
